Advantages and Disadvantages of Purchase Plan and Adaptation Scenario
long-term stable operation scenario adaptation
If the enterprise has a fixed demand for warehousing and factory handling, the annual operating time is stable for more than 2,000 hours, and the planned service life of the equipment is more than 3 years, the purchase plan can be selected to dilute the comprehensive cost of use for a long time, and the subsequent operation and maintenance adjustment of the equipment can be arranged independently. It is suitable for its own exclusive operation process and is not subject to the lease period. The equipment can be included in the enterprise's inherent assets for corresponding financial planning.
Description of the potential cost of the acquisition plan
In the acquisition mode, the initial one-time investment is relatively high. In addition to the equipment purchase payment, the enterprise also needs to bear the subsequent insurance coverage, regular maintenance, and battery replacement after attenuation. If the scale of subsequent operations shrinks, the equipment will be idle, which will generate corresponding depreciation losses. Disposal of idle equipment also requires a corresponding process, which will consume a certain amount of working capital.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Leasing Scheme and Adaptation Scenarios
Adaptability to short-term fluctuating demand
If the company has a period of surge in orders, such as e-commerce promotion cycles, short-term projects, etc., it only needs to add equipment capacity within a period of several months to a year. Choosing a lease plan does not require a large amount of capital at one time. It can be paid according to the actual life cycle, and the number of equipment used can be flexibly adjusted on demand. When the demand for transportation capacity falls, the rent can be returned without having to bear the depreciation pressure caused by idle equipment.
Adaptability to asset-light operating scenarios
Some newly established small and medium-sized logistics and manufacturing enterprises hope to control the proportion of fixed assets, prioritize the investment of funds in business development, and choose the leasing model to assign the responsibility of equipment maintenance to the service provider, without the need for a dedicated team to connect with daily equipment maintenance work, which can save the corresponding operation and maintenance labor costs.
When selecting a final model, an enterprise can first collect data on the handling operation duration of the past 1 to 2 years, and combine future business expansion plans with its own cash flow to screen the most suitable usage plan to maximize the input-output ratio of equipment use.
